Work of Art: The Next Great Artist (Bravo) — Series premiere. From Sarah Jessica Parker’s production company, it’s “Project Runway” with painters instead of designers. China Chow is a less-hot Asian Heidi Klum, and Simon de Pury plays the Tim Gunn role.One of the most vocal artists is Nao Bustamante…

…the sister of Cruz Bustamante, the former lieutenant governor of California. In a piece she created in the early 1990s, she asked white men in her audience to apologize for oppressing indigenous people by chomping at a burrito she had attached to her hip. [New York Times]

Like I always say, eating a burrito is the best apology. Anyway, the winner receives a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum, which reminds me: I should make it to the Brooklyn Museum this summer before it gets the Sarah Jessica Parker smell all over it.

Man V. Food (Travel Channel) — Season premiere. Adam Richman goes to Miami, where he tries to eat a 48-ounce steak in 20 minutes. Well, at least he gets to savor it a little.

Top Chef: Masters (Bravo) — Season finale. The final three chefs are Rick Moonen, Susur Lee, and Marcus Samuelsson, and I’m not sure I’ve heard of any of them. Wait, maybe Samuelsson. He used to be in those World’s Strongest Man contests, right?

2010 Country Music Awards (CMT) — Kid Rock hosts. Blonde women sing.

You’re Cut Off (VH1) — Series premiere. I already spewed some bile about this yesterday, but here’s what really bothers me: the parents of these women are throwing up their hands and saying, “I can’t deal with this spoiled monster — here, you take her, reality TV show.” And it’s like, hey assh*le, YOU’RE the sh*tty parent whose imbecility and neglect created that rotten bitch in the first place. Die in an expensive fire.

That’s it. That’s all we’ve got. 10,000 fucking channels and this is it. Fuck you television. I’m done with your whoring around. I’d rather watch the 1994 World Cup game between US and Columbia on ESPN Classic. That game led to a fucking murder. When was the last time Top Chef led to a fucking murder?

It may have been some preview, but I think VH1 also aired the first episode of You’re Cut Off on Sunday. And it’s as horrible as you’ve stated, if not more so

Pretty sure that Man v. Food is a re-airing of the steak challenge he did for the Superbowl.

Sigh. China Chow went to college literally right across the street from me. A girl I dated one summer was friends with her. She would have looked approximately like this or this at the time. And I never even met her.

/kind of disappointed with how she’s looking in the banner picture.

@Zack – why have I never heard of this broad before today’s post? Jesus, she’s hot.

China Chow sounds like a shitty restaurant at the food court in the mall.

I guess no one is going to watch Tosh.0? I heard they are going to show some humorous internet clips with vulgar commentary.
